ip08072501-dishes_from_the_pot_in_Slovenia

2008-07-25T07:23:00.000-07:00

I am offering an idea for a new product: We are putting together a programme for a bus tour of five locations, where we will offer dishes from the pot: Prekmurje bograč, Pohorje pisker and so forth.

Guests obtain the recipes and if they wish they can also join in the preparation of dishes. Of course they also tour the local area, where they learn the story of individual dishes. And they definitely do not miss out on local desserts and local wines.

ip08062401-clothing_in_original_designs_for_employees_in_hotel

2008-06-24T12:30:00.000-07:00

Clothing in original designs for employees in all hotel departments (reception, waiting staff, kitchen, rooms, sales). The design is in the hands of a young local industrial designer who collaborates with a textile designer and fashion designer.

The clothing illustrates a linking of tradition and modernity and relates to Slovenia’s cultural heritage.

ip08060601-underground_adventure_park

2008-06-06T08:49:00.000-07:00

Around the world and in Slovenia, too, a rapidly growing trend is spending time in an extreme, adrenaline-boosting way. We are therefore seeing all around us the construction of more and more high-adrenaline entertainment and adventure centres.

I have drawn up a plan of currently the only underground adventure park. This would include activities that are currently pursued above ground as well as several activities not yet provided anywhere.

ip08052910-financial_pool

2008-05-30T17:47:00.000-07:00

(Link to cover: ep07122401_bi_ti_sodeloval). “Financial Pool” is the title of a project designed to ensure the necessary financing for the implementation and realisation of innovative, sustainable and feasible business ideas from tourism students. The “Financial Pool” team will seek out and study the possibility of financing from various European funds, ministries, municipalities, local communities and more.

ip08052911-better_Primorska

2008-05-30T11:52:00.000-07:00

(Link to cover: ep07122401_bi_ti_sodeloval). My idea is challenging but feasible! My aim is to raise the young and young at heart up onto their feet, and motivate them to make their Primorska surroundings more attractive and pleasing to the eye! Children would be taken care of, young people would work at full stretch, older people would help, they would guide tourists and guide us. If you want nicer local surroundings, more events and a revival of old customs, contact me!

ip08052909-wilderness_within_reach

2008-05-30T11:33:00.000-07:00

(Link to cover: ep07122401_bi_ti_sodeloval). Wilderness within reach; fulfillable dreams that will awaken in you a real desire for a true experience, grilling steaks on an open fire, sleeping under the gentle stars… You will be enchanted with the fantastic experiencing of nature, wild animals, forest, plant life and more. You will be intoxicated by the smell of winter snow, inspired by the freshness of spring, enamoured of the summer breezes and surprised at the colours of autumn. Whether or not this Kočevje fairy-tale is a short experience for the senses or a long spoiling of yourself. The wilderness, wilderness within reach will always be there to draw you in.

ip08052906-the_kingdom_of_green_theme_park

2008-05-30T11:16:00.000-07:00

(Link to cover: ep07122401_bi_ti_sodeloval). The Kingdom of Green Gold theme park has been established in the area of the Lower Savinja Valley, and it is based in essence on the literary heritage and oral tradition of the valley.

ip08052904-eco_villages

2008-05-30T10:58:00.000-07:00

(Link to cover: ep07122401_bi_ti_sodeloval). Eco villages are a way of approaching the thinking and philosophy behind a sustainable way of life, which would be transferred to the Slovenian land, a land characterised by beautiful nature but also by the threat of its destruction. The eco village is a bold idea offering a solution for the survival of the Slovenian countryside and farmers, preservation of nature and improvement of people’s health, not to mention the possibilities for developing sustainable tourism. This way of life will enable the long-term survival and development of humans. By establishing ecological family villages at carefully considered locations (in existing and future parks), we could transfer this approach to the majority population in the local area, surroundings, region and country, and this would bring greater attractiveness in the eyes of nature lovers, since people could actually function according to the principle “think globally, act locally” and in this way help to nurture and protect nature for all of us.

ip08052908-the_house_of_Cult-tours

2008-05-29T11:28:00.000-07:00

(Link to cover: ep07122401_bi_ti_sodeloval). The sales gallery space in the old city centre of Novo mesto presents the crafts people of the local area, creators who are not yet established, their distribution and other actors in the field of culture and tourism. The House of Cult-tours will be divided thematically into three sections: cultural heritage, modern culture and cultural info.

ip08052907-welnessTur

2008-05-29T11:22:00.000-07:00

(Link to cover: ep07122401_bi_ti_sodeloval). WellnessTur is a speciality tour operator that will create a professional channel for the sale of fresh and innovative packages from Slovenian and foreign wellness providers.

ip08052905-sales_of_hotel_capacities_through_ the_ auction

2008-05-29T11:08:00.000-07:00

(Link to cover: ep07122401_bi_ti_sodeloval). Through a new approach (already tested and operating) to sales I want to fill vacant hotel capacities, especially in periods that are not attractive for guests (pre- and post-season dates, individual days during the week) through a system where the potential guest himself offers a price for the room. In the event that the offered price is acceptable to the hotel, the reservation will be confirmed, otherwise the reservation is not confirmed, and the guest is offered the lowest room price acceptable for the hotel.

ip08052903-camp_of_yurts

2008-05-29T10:48:00.000-07:00

(Link to cover: ep07122401_bi_ti_sodeloval). I wish to set up a summer camp of yurts in the area of the Karst, in an oak forest surrounded by pastureland, where sheep and goats would graze and also give milk, from which we would make fresh food. The camp would comprise 15-20 yurts and one cabin providing a kitchen, reception, washroom, common room and furniture. We would also establish an interpretive trail and a grass playing field, and a guide would present how people used to live. Through various customs as well as old and new games, guests would get to know each other and have fun, and in this way come truly close.

We would establish a relaxed atmosphere, which is a good precondition for daytime activities. The wider area surrounding the camp would also be properly arranged (walls repaired, trails marked etc.)

Activities at the camp and around it would involve: various herding games, singing, stories, making instruments and implements from wood and stone. Guests would also be offered plenty of local food, which would be prepared from fresh ingredients. Guests could also be involved in various works, customs, habits, practices and events. (Link to cover: ep07122401_bi_ti_sodeloval)

ip08052902-small_hotel_of_Turistica

2008-05-29T10:37:00.000-07:00

(Link to cover: ep07122401_bi_ti_sodeloval). The Turistica tourism academy could operate a small hotel in Portorož. In the hotel students could do their practical training by running the entire system independently.

On the ground floor there would be an internet café, or a gathering place for short excursions to Istria, in order to take advantage of the just-completed course on Istrian treasures entitled Heart of Istria (Path of the Gods, Frescos, Fortified Istria, Venetian Heritage). Professional material is currently available and it would be a real shame not to use it. A group of guides offering these programmes could also work here. I think that there would be no shortage of manpower, or of good ideas for various offers and services.

ip08052901-agorafonia

2008-05-29T09:58:00.000-07:00

(Link to cover: ep07122401_bi_ti_sodeloval). Agoraphonia is a project of musical animation aimed at coming together in a square, where various musical genres of the world are presented and meet. The project involves the collaboration of 1 or more brass bands, 1 or more choirs, other musical groups (percussionists, folk musicians), 1 flautist, 1 violinist, 1 saxophonist, 4 rock guitarists, 3 theatre performers, a clown on stilts, jugglers, puppeteers, street performers, hawkers, mimes, majorettes and so forth – no one is absolutely essential, but the more the merrier.
Interaction with members of the public that join with the performers. In addition to these the project envisages the participation of a further 40 to 60 musicians maximum (students, teachers, amateurs and professionals), who would participate in 3 daily workshops, where together with the leaders they would determine the musicality of the square, everything in the square that can be turned into an instrument or percussion, and they would also participate in directing and set-up. A group of children drawing to live music could also participate. The event could be staged in Piran and then repeated in Milje (Muggia, Italy).

ip08050601_waterfalls_of_Slovenia_and_energy_points

2008-05-06T07:19:00.000-07:00

The concept of “Waterfalls of Slovenia and energy points – source of energy and health” includes a programme for a 5-day bus tour of the waterfalls of Slovenia and energy points.

A proposal has been formulated for (1) routes, (2) a guidebook with a description of the falls and locales and (3) a CD with photos of the falls and stories about them.

ip08031801_virtual_slovenia

2008-03-18T15:00:00.000-07:00

The idea has the same basis as already existing virtual museums. Virtual mapping techniques would be used in tourist locations (and, potentially, other locations) across Slovenia to create computerised images of towns, villages, castles etc., allowing visitors to "walk" through them and with a click of the mouse view whatever interests them.

ip08031303_secrets_from_ears_istria_to_sea

2008-03-13T14:08:00.000-07:00

In 2005 we initiated a project called "Secrets from the Ears of Istria to the Sea", of which we are the coordinators, in conjunction with the City of Koper.

We have established that the project is desirable and necessary in this part of Slovenian Istria and that it should be continued. The scope of the work is broad and multi-layered. The work will be conducted at several levels by a variety of operators, which will also guarantee better results and greater possibilities of final realisation.

From the very beginning it was envisaged that this route should also contain tourism potential. Several themed routes are developing within the project: The Smokvica Green Nature Trail, Movraž with Moravška Vala, The Edge of Moravška Vala, From Kubed to Hrastovlje, From the Source of the Rižana to its Mouth.

The project will include presentations of the life of the villagers in times past, local societies and their activities, and characteristic elements of the landscape in Slovenian Istria. The project covers the cultural, natural, historical and architectural significance of the locations.

ip08031302_museum_gallery_centre_hrastovlje

2008-03-13T13:32:00.000-07:00

Our purpose is to enrich the presentation of the extraordinarily rich and very specific cultural heritage in the old part of Hrastovlje, famous all over the world for its frescoes.

a) The opening of a gallery in the very centre of the village devoted to the renowned sculptor Jože Pohlen, a native of Hrastovlje and the man who discovered the frescoes.
b) The opening of a gallery devoted to the painter and fresco restorer Viktor Snoj.
c) We plan to install an exhibition of the ethnographic collections of museums in Slovenia and abroad in the village's community centre. In the future we are counting on a larger purpose-built space in which to install our own permanent ethnographic collection and a presentation of Istrian frescoes.
d) Tasting centre for local products.
e) Shop selling Istrian specialities and local wine.
f) Regulation of tourist footpath, medieval monuments. From the centre of the village to the Church of the Holy Trinity and on to the little church in Zanigrad. A longer variant would continue to the tower in Podpeč and Castle Socerb or alternatively in the direction of Kubed to the towers at Sočerga and Abitanti.
g) Installation of appropriate street furniture.

We are seeking co-financers.

ip08022601_wireless_network

2008-02-19T14:41:00.000-08:00

We are preparing to upgrade the tourist experience in Koper with free wireless internet access with additional web content for tourists, citizens and students. We will set up a wireless network that will enable users internet access from the outdoor location of their choice. We would like to cover the whole of Pristaniška Ulica and the town beach, Cankarjeva Ulica and part of the Bonifica area. Users with laptops will be able to connect to the internet and browse the web.

ip08012801_european_cultural_village

2008-01-28T14:01:00.000-08:00

The European Cultural Village is an integrated centre of European cultural heritage and contemporary culture whose purpose is to promote and teach about the European cultural area. The diversity of today's 27 EU Member States implies, as well as many advantages (the diversity of the cultural area), certain weaknesses in relation to communication and understanding of this multiculturality and the common European identity, and therefore a centre of this kind presents itself as a kind of point of intersection of a multicultural Europe that is dispersed over an area of more than 4.3 million square kilometres.

The idea is to establish the first European cultural centre of this kind (ECV), where activities connected with the promotion of Europe's multiculturality will take place. The contents of the promotion of European multiculturality are linked to the widest variety of forms of social culture in EU Member States (cuisine, music, language, folklore, architecture, etc.) and of broader elements of social creativity (science, education, sport, etc.). The ECV can also market itself as a tourist attraction, an events centre, a centre for sporting events, a campsite or other form of accommodation for visitors to the centre, educational purposes, etc.

ep07122401_bi_ti_sodeloval

2008-01-07T07:36:00.000-08:00

DoŠT (Tourism Students Association) and UP Turistica, in collaboration with the Bank of Tourism Potentials of Slovenia, present the project "Bi ti sodeloval? - BT(P)S!" [Would you like to take part? BT(P)S!]

DoŠT has set aside EUR 2000 for the public promotion of the project participants and their ideas for introducing tourism innovations in Slovenia. The project offers:

1. an opportunity to verify the feasibility of an individual idea
2. help in finding partners and funds for the realisation of the idea
3. an opportunity to promote the idea and the team

The end product of the project is an event that will take place at the end of the 07/08 academic year at UP Turistica, where students of the college of tourism and other interested participants will present their tourism development ideas to the general public in the context of a social event and thus gain an opportunity for promotion and networking.

In the months before the event, participants will be able to formulate, verify and supplement their ideas. Mentors (professors from UP Turistica) will be available to them during this period. The Bank of Tourism Potentials of Slovenia will help in the evaluation of the ideas submitted.

ip07121401-e-salesperson

2007-12-14T13:05:00.000-08:00

Time is a valuable commodity. The rapid pace of life makes it difficult for potential buyers of travel packages to visit travel agents to see what is on offer every time they want to make a journey.

An alternative to this is of course a travel agent's website, but as a tool this is very impersonal. How can a website or internet distribution channel be made more personal? The constant development of technology and computing means that this is now possible. Nearly all computers can handle audio and video, so why not use this technology in the travel industry?

The idea is based on travel agents offering a live conversation (sound and images) with an e-salesperson via their website. Naturally this salesperson would not be available 24 hours a day but only at certain times. People who wish to discuss a specific holiday package or request additional information would simply click to connect with the e-salesperson.

ip07120301_road_accidents

2007-12-03T21:47:00.000-08:00

Road Accidents Museum. An association with the Minimundus miniature park in Klagenfurt, which draws visitors into an imaginary world. A museum of real road accidents is a simultaneously shocking and educational attraction.

shocking because the visitor would be able to see what happens to cars and passengers (dummies) in the case of a road accident
educational because as well as showing the situation after the accident it would also describe all the circumstances of the accident (alcohol, drugs, speed, fatalities, injuries and survivors, etc.) and the consequences of the accident (changes in the quality of life of the survivors, etc.)

Possibility of link-ups with additional ideas: e.g. a weekly live "crash test" where visitors would be able to see in real time what actually happens when two vehicles collide, etc. (more details in the full document).

It would be appropriate to link the idea to the corresponding bodies at the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of the Interior so as to ensure proper data protection, the obtaining of consent, etc.

ip07112801_bookings

2007-11-28T17:31:00.000-08:00

An upgrade to an existing gastronomic reservations portal with a comprehensive range of services for tourists.

ip07112202_visitors

2007-11-22T11:54:00.000-08:00

Project goal: to raise the quality of providers of tourism services and systematically collect data and opinions from tourists.

Detailed project description attached. Visitors need guidance to help them recognise quality providers of services.

ip07112201_informer

2007-11-22T11:29:00.000-08:00

A proposal of ways to draw the attention of transit tourists and travellers to events and tourism services in Slovenia.

Includes suitable information technology for the interactive and effective provision of information about current contents.

ep07111601_gay_travellers

2007-11-16T17:58:00.000-08:00

The website
http://www.sloveniaforgaytravelers.com/ (SFGT) is aimed at a segment of tourists that to date has received practically no attention in Slovenia. In other countries gay-friendly tourism is a perfectly normal and at the same time profitable business. This deposit offers all BTPS customers the chance to advertise tourism-related activities on our website.

1. SFGT is the first result of a Google (or other search engine) search using the search string gay+slovenia

2. SFGT is a very popular site and a good source of information for gay travellers, with 50–100 page views per day and 20–30 unique visitors per day

3. The gay population travels a lot and chooses quality services

4. Like all travellers, gay travellers (the majority of visitors to our website) above all require transport to their selected destination, comfortable accommodation and the possibility of excursions and transport around the country they are visiting. Visitors' main requirements are hotels and other comfortable overnight accommodation, good restaurants, entertainment, sports activities, cultural events, etc. They are also increasingly interested in purchasing property.

Make sure that your business is free from prejudices with regard to the lifestyle of the target group and work with us. You can view our price list here (all advertisers are also inserted free-of-charge on a special link exchange list).

Advantages for BTPS clients: (1) Those who contact us via the BTPS website by 31 March 2008 will be entitled to a 20% discount. (2) If you mediate successfully in the completion of a transaction (i.e. you find an advertiser) we offer a 30% commission on the value of the first transaction concluded and 20% of each subsequent transaction for the same client.

ip07102401_catering with a heart

2007-10-24T13:05:00.000-07:00

The project was created in order to bring together people with a heartfelt commitment to catering. People who work in tourism are Slovenia's future.

Our aim for this project is for it to be one of the supreme gastronomic experiences a person can have. The project is broadly conceived and offers numerous possibilities. Our vision is to satisfy the senses of the most demanding guests, to develop conference and wellness tourism and offer people the range of opportunities for relaxation offered by idyllic surroundings. Above all our aim is to treat every visitor as an individual. We hope to compete with hotels and restaurants of the highest category.

ep07102301_business_angels

2007-10-23T13:02:00.000-07:00

The Business Angels Club of Slovenia (hereinafter: the Club) is a network of successful entrepreneurs and executives interested in investing in promising start-up companies. As well as capital they offer them advice and access to their own extensive business networks. In view of the great untapped potential of tourism in Slovenia, the Club is very interested in tourism enterprise projects or tourism companies with the potential for rapid growth, excellent management and an outline investor exit strategy. Investments range from EUR 50,000 to 300,000. The two essential criteria are an investment period of between three and five years and a minimum 30-percent annual return.

The basic purposes of the Club are: identifying entrepreneurs ripe for equity financing, help in completing investment documentation and development of concepts, and bringing together entrepreneurs and the investors who are members of the Club. It is a point of contact for the most ambitious entrepreneurs and investors.

For the tourism sector the Business Angels Club of Slovenia and the Bank of Tourism Potentials in Slovenia have signed a cooperation agreement covering finding, evaluating, developing and investing in promising tourism idea deposits. In the sphere of tourism-related projects, the Club will give priority to those projects previously registered as BTPS idea deposits. The Club will be offered priority opportunities for investment in BTPS idea deposits in an investment range of EUR 50,000 to 300,000.

ip07102201_istrian_treasury

2007-10-20T13:01:00.000-07:00

The Istrian Treasury project presents tourist destinations in the hinterland of the municipality of Koper by individual specific cultures. The results are interesting both for the individual (guided by a map) and for larger groups (information on a DVD).

All those who already have (or are preparing) their own activities in the sphere of the promotion of local Istrian cuisine, destinations of interest (hikes, excursions, discovering nature and natural sights), the presentation of Istrian traditions, etc. are invited to join us. We will present the whole range of activities by months, e.g. May: Cherry Month. Presentation of the cherry, a visit to at least one destination offering this product (open farm, workshop, cherry picking, etc.). Technical presentation by a representative of the Agricultural Advisory Service and a practical demonstration by a farmer, grower or open-farm manager.

The project will be presented in electronic form (DVD).

ip07091002_moving nature

2007-09-10T13:00:00.000-07:00

Moving Nature is a fun educational project permanently installed in an urban environment or in the countryside that represents the specific cultural features of the place, region or area in connection with renewable sources of energy (water, solar, wind).

The project contributes to the promotion of efficient use of energy and the use of renewable sources and enables better understanding of all these contents and encourages more attractive methods of learning. I am seeking purchasers and co-financers.

ip07091001_national costume

2007-09-10T12:59:00.000-07:00

Using a digital camera, a laptop with suitable software and a compact printer we offer tourists the chance to have a photograph or postcard of themselves dressed in the traditional costume of the place they are visiting. Women's and men's costumes (the property of folklore societies) are available in a selection of sizes. In this way tourists can learn about the costumes that form part of our cultural heritage.

We can also arrange performances (in hotels, for example) by a folklore group, including dances and an explanation of their origin. To supplement the idea we could organise trips across Slovenia (lasting a few days), taking in folklore, dances and national costumes, old traditions and local culinary specialities.

ip07082001-excursion_slo_istria

2007-08-20T12:57:00.000-07:00

An upgrade to deposit ip07021402-izlet_slo_istria. We are seeking a local tourist agency located in the Slovenian part of Istria for a business venture. We have designed a new local excursion for tourists called the "Slavnik Hiking Trail". It is aimed at tourists staying in accommodation in Slovenian Istria. A local tourist agency will take over the organisation and advertising of the excursion, organise the sales network and have run the bookings centre. All tourist agencies in Slovenian Istria will be able to sell the excursion in collaboration with the designated agency. We have already had several "trial runs" of the excursion. The excursion begins and ends in Piran. I would personally take part in the first excursions in order to help make further improvements to organisation. Detailed documentation relating to the excursion has been prepared and we would like to carry out the first commercial excursion in early September 2007.

ip07080201_children_strawberries

2007-08-02T12:55:00.000-07:00

Activity day designed for Year 1–3 primary school children, in line with the curriculum. The activities are adapted for the age group and for the most part take place in the country, in the fresh air and a tranquil environment. They are led by a local guide and last 180 minutes. The children learn about the geographical features of the eastern part of the Ljubljana region and get to know natural and cultural heritage and village "characters". Activities include finding the dragon's footprints, solving tasks and crosswords, doing jigsaws, making paper flowers and sampling farmhouse specialities. All of this is accompanied by the tale of the Land of Strawberries, which ends at the highest point in the urban municipality of Ljubljana, in Janče, where there is a wonderful view over the Julian Alps, the Kamnik-Savinja Alps and the Pohorje Massif.

We would like to develop the project to make it suitable for families too. We are seeking co-financers.

ip07080104_stamps of slovenia

2007-08-01T12:47:00.000-07:00

This idea is offered free of charge: A journey through Slovenia following motifs from Slovenian postage stamps. Motifs from postage stamps are the basis of the programme. The written programme includes a specific stamp describing places, events, peoples, sights, food, ethnological items, anniversaries. The stamps are the basis for the stories that lead us on an excursion lasting several days. The written programme also includes the stamps and their description.

The stamp commemorating Slovenian Independence is the basis for a description of history and a cue to visit all of Plečnik's works. The stamp commemorating 900 years of boat races on the river Ljubljanica is the cue to visit the river and take a boat trip. A stamp showing a reproduction of Rihard Jakopič's painting Among the Birches is the cue for a visit to the National Gallery. The stamp showing a traditional Škofjeloški kruhek (a decorative pastry made from rye flour and honey shaped in a carved wooden mould) is an excuse to visit Škofja Loka and see a gingerbread maker at work, etc.

ip07080103_grape_harvesting

2007-08-01T12:42:00.000-07:00

This idea is offered free of charge: organisation of grape harvesting in a privately owned vineyard. The grape harvesting is organised in an old-fashioned, ethnologically interesting way without using modern appliances. Pressing the grapes is done using an old wooden press. The harvesting includes a gastronomic event with typical dishes. It is also possible to start the event with the symbolic hoisting into position of a new wind rattle (to scare away the birds) and to prepare a special presentation brochure about this characteristic feature of Slovenia's vineyards.

ip07080102_personalised_postcard

2007-08-01T12:33:00.000-07:00

This idea is offered free of charge: Using a digital camera, a laptop with suitable software and a compact printer (e.g. a Canon Selphy) we make personalised postcards with the tourist's chosen image and wording. The back of the paper for printing in the Canon printer is pre-printed in postcard format.

We can also send the photograph to an e-mail address or store it on a USB flash drive. A USB flash drive can also be used to store information about the tourist destination together with photographs for own use. The name of the tourist organisation is printed on the case of the USB flash drive.

ip07080101_town_coin

2007-08-01T12:31:00.000-07:00

This idea is offered free of charge: We make a negative of the coat of arms of a town or other motif. A person dressed as a blacksmith uses a simple tool to "strike" a coin bearing the coat of arms and then formally presents it (sells it) to the tourist. The tourist will also receive a document containing a brief history of the town and a description of the motif on the coin. The coin-maker (blacksmith) is dressed as a craftsmen. Writing materials are also offered. We can also sell other tourist products that suit the context.

ip07072401_manor

2007-07-24T12:26:00.000-07:00

Renovation of a manor house in SW Slovenia intended for wealthy guests. A favourable climate, a wide range of activities on the large estate and fine wine from the manor's own vineyard served in a unique wine cellar will allow guests to forget about the present. Or simply succumb to culinary delights as the lord of the manor regales them with tales of his interesting adventures around the world. With this project we would like to offer guests an active or a purely relaxing break. Activities in the manor grounds would include meditation, jogging, Nordic walking, cycling, mountaineering, riding or simply relaxation in the manor's wellness centre. As well as for individual guests, services could be tailored for business guests and groups (including business meetings in peaceful surroundings).

ip07071402-istrian_specialities

2007-07-14T01:59:00.000-07:00

A number of specialities from Slovene Istria were included in the 'Gastronomy Strategy of Slovenia'.

The proposed project, while taking into account the expert proposals of the 'strategy', offers a way to upgrade the quality of the services currently on offer in cooperation with local providers. This would make Istrian cuisine more 'accessible' and recognisable to potential visitors.

ip07071401-supplemented_istrian_itineraries

2007-07-14T01:57:00.000-07:00

The Interreg project 'Local tourist facilities and themed itineraries', concluded in 2006, included the creation of themed itineraries in Slovene Istria on the basis of typical products or providers of the latter (www.istrskepoti.si).

The facilities and services already on offer could be supplemented following our proposal, enabling us to achieve a more complete and thus more attractive 'package' of facilities and services for potential visitors.

ip07071201-istrian_cuisine

2007-07-12T01:56:00.000-07:00

The essence of the idea is to strengthen the cultural identity of Istria in the marketplace with typical Istrian dishes and an emphasis on quality and certification:
- Typical Istrian restaurant (tastings of traditional dishes prepared according to the particular traditions of Istrian cuisine).
- Presentation and sale of Istrian products from local suppliers.
- Active inclusion of tourist agencies, which would bring tourists to visit an Istrian restaurant or shop; this would be a 'compulsory' visit for every tourist.
- Teaching tourists about the history and origins of Istrian cuisine.
- Online sales of Istrian products.
- Online presentation of the preparation of Istrian dishes.

ip07071002_oslov_hrbet

2007-07-10T01:54:00.000-07:00

Our little village in the Šavrinsko Hills spreads across a slope whose shape suggests the 'donkey's back' that has been used as its identifying symbol since our ancestors' time. Proof of this can also be found in historical literature. Since this village with its wonderful view over Koper already has an ethnology and local history collection and an open farm, while a footpath and cycle path pass nearby, we would like to increase the recognisability and attractiveness of our locality by offering additional activities at our traditional fair.

For this reason, in 2008 we plan to turn our 'donkey's back' into a venue for donkey races, a competition for the most beautiful donkey foal, and donkey-cart rides/demonstrations. We are seeking co-financers and active partners.

ip07071001-countryside_mok

2007-07-10T01:51:00.000-07:00

In connection with energy deposit (€-deposit) ep07052101-mok we are registering an idea deposit with which we wish to connect rural local communities and societies with the activities of the Municipality of Koper (MOK). A weekend in Koper is a welcome tourism potential which we wish to supplement with visits to villages (Marezige, Lopar, Truške, Trsek, Hrastovlje, Krkavče, Smokvica, etc.) and their fairs, festivities, expeditions, ethnological collections, farms, churches, society activities, cycle paths, footpaths, etc. Transport possibilities: (1) bus , (2) the carriage that carries tourists in Koper, or (3) the Koper tourist train.

We could also organise visits in the opposite direction: using carts, to offer a presentation of village life in Koper. We are seeking co-financers and active partners.

ip07060601-Adventure Park

2007-06-06T10:23:00.000-07:00

The conceptual stake covers the professionally elaborated concept of the Slovenia Adventure Park.

The Adventure Park is an innovation in the area of adventure activities in nature, and is designed to provide fun for the whole family. The concept of the Adventure Park is based on a hands-on tour through a specially arranged site laid out in the form of an adventure trail. The main difference between the Adrenaline Park and the Adventure park lies in the user-friendliness of the Adventure Park. In contrast to the Adrenaline Park, the Adventure Park is suitable for the whole family, since the site has been composed and arranged in such a way that it can also be used by children aged 4 years and over, and at the same time the park can be visited entirely individually.

The main idea in devising the Adventure Park concept was to offer or construct a site that would provide for the individual visitor and groups fun in a natural environment, and where the facilities are aimed at the entire family on the basis of direct experience and adventure, and not on the basis of adrenaline.

If the concept is used, we are selling the franchise for the complete project, or we are seeking to convert the value of the franchise into a co-ownership stake in the enterprise.

2007-05-20T10:15:00.000-07:00

Outline draft of a tourism package suitable for marketing in travel agencies and other organisations where several-day trips are marketed. The idea involves the creation of a train journey following the route of the former Southern Railway of the Austro-Hungarian Empire from the 19th century. Although the line has remained in operation to the present day, it is not marketed in the tourism sense as a retail travel package.

Details in the BTPS archive. I am seeking buyers for the idea. I wish to take part in the realisation of the project.

ip07051501_wooden vessels

2007-05-15T10:14:00.000-07:00

The purpose of the idea is the construction of wooden vessels (an example of an active project can be seen in the photograph) for river and coastal panoramic transport, boat hire or charter. Vessels of the "houseboat" type can be used as small hotels, clinics, workshops, cafés, etc. As well as the construction of a wooden vessel the idea offers the realisation of entertainment/education programmes on the vessels. Suitable locations for the realisation of the project include Slovenia's larger rivers, which flow through cities (Maribor, Novo Mesto, Ljubljana, etc.), the coast and lakes. Thanks to their attractive appearance, wooden vessels add variety to the location and services with high added value. Larger vessels can be used to hold events, parties, seminars, culinary events, meetings, workshops, themed journeys, etc. I am looking for partners to finance the idea and buyers.

2007-05-13T10:13:00.000-07:00

This farm building (barn), converted into a 650m2 exhibition space called the MUSEUM OF TOO-MODERN ART, has attracted a large number of foreign and domestic cultural tourists, art experts and ordinary members of the public, who have reacted enthusiastically to the works on exhibition and to the concept of the museum. Too-modernism is a young movement which in a very original manner has captured contemporary art trends at home and around the world. The Museum of Modern Art in Ljubljana commemorated us as a special phenomenon at the U3 1995-2005 exhibition.

We are located very close to the geometric centre of the Republic of Slovenia and wish to link our activity with tourism in the direction of a universal artistic residential centre. We are seeking funds to renovate the museum and are offering the use of all the buildings on the farm (120 years old and with a carters' inn in a poor state of repair), which, like the barn, we hope to dedicate to different artistic genres and tourism.

It will become a sought-after tourist attraction and a sight that is unique in Europe. The café could be an enhancement for Ljubljana Castle, justify the existence of a cablecar, be a specific destination for visitors and a pleasant surprise for chance tourists (see the popularity of the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, another type of popular culture point).

The City of Ljubljana (MOL) offers a package of technical and financial assistance to five future entrepreneurs in the sphere of tourism. From among the i-deposits of the Bank of Tourism Potentials in Slovenia, in cooperation with the MOL's experts, we will select up to five tourism ideas whose owners are prepared to realise them in their own enterprises, which will be founded with our help in the City of Ljubljana.

Priority in the selection will be given to ideas that:

1) are able to be realised in the territory of the City of Ljubljana and at the same time while enable connections with other tourist destinations in Slovenia

2) are connected with the development of integrated tourism products on the basis of digital technologies or with Measures II and III "Innovation Action Plan for Slovenia: tourism/culture umbrella to increase competitivity, cohesion and employment", elaborated as part of the EU INNOVATION COACH project (more information about the two measures)

3) reach the BTPS before 15.3.2007.

Through its support environment the MOL offers technical and financial assistance in order to help the most promising ideas reach the market as soon as possible and therefore offers: enterprise workshops, donations to potential entrepreneurs to start up an enterprise in the City of Ljubljana, assistance in the preparation of a business plan for the purpose of obtaining capital (seed capital, risk capital, business angels, funds, banks, etc.), 3-year mentorship.

More information on the background to the support campaign can be found tukaj (click bottom left on: "The capital in support of new enterprise ideas" scheme). Contact persons for additional information:

A Rehido centre as an extra service for tourists is something brand new in the marketplace. It involves an energy-based approach to strengthening the immune system; it involves a light touch of the therapist's hands, which balances the individual's energy and creates balance in the circulation of the basic elements of the energy system. It is based above all on Hippocrates' theory of eucrasia. The Rehido centre would offer group/individual therapy and training. The range of the centres goes beyond complementary medicine and contains the possibility of development of integrative medicine, above all in health resorts. The idea of implementing Rehido centres is financially relatively undemanding and is based above all on rich knowledge of forgotten theories and years of experience.

The concept has not yet been applied either in Slovenia or abroad (it is genuinely new!), which means that for the organiser of this type of travel it will mean the highest level of differentiation from the competition.

Compensation for use of the idea: a share in the profit generated by the use of the idea.

ip07020201-souvenirs_food_sport

2007-02-02T11:02:00.000-08:00

Several ideas for catering and tourism regarding souvenirs and the characteristics of the location.

I am seeking co-financers and partners and buyers among manufacturers of food products, manufacturers of wooden items and organisers of sports and cultural events.

ip07020105-product_development

2007-02-01T11:01:00.001-08:00

The idea represents a completely new approach to the development of tourism products.

The concept enables maximum adaptation of the tourism product to the wishes and needs of the target group of tourists, it increases the brand prestige of the tourism provider and helps increase tourist loyalty to the tourism provider.

ip07020101-mountain_biking

2007-02-01T11:01:00.000-08:00

Publishing mountain bike tours in Slovenia in one place and presenting them to a broader public as one of the most attractive free-time sports.

The following information will be available on the website: Basic data (length, height, difficulty, map, etc.), GPS data, descriptions of bicycle tours – detailed descriptions of tours, photographs from tours and points of interest, additional information on overnight accommodation, farm tourism, mountain huts, etc.

Once the first phase is complete, I will supplement my i-dea with the organisation of guided mountain bike tours throughout Slovenia in an unusual way that is fully adapted to individual clients.

ip07020104-health_tourism

2007-02-01T11:00:00.000-08:00

Innovative concept in the sphere of (private patient) health tourism
This is a completely new idea suitable for health resorts (conditionally spas) in the sphere of (private patient) health resort services. The realisation of the idea means significantly increased added value for the provider of health resort services in the sphere of health tourism in return for a small investment. This idea has not yet been implemented in Slovenia or neighbouring countries. A slightly different form of this concept has been implemented abroad with great success, and this also represented the basis for the development of the proposed innovation

ip07020103-destination_specialisation

2007-02-01T10:59:00.000-08:00

An outline concept interesting for one of more tourist destinations in Slovenia which would enable them to achieve a significant level of specialisation and differentiation in respect of other destinations.

The idea can be divided into 2 stages, where the second stage builds on the first stage and represents a bold upgrading of the innovation. From the timetable point of view, it is possible in the first phase to realise the first stage alone or the first and second stages

Applicable at all destinations in Slovenia.

ip07020102-targeting

2007-02-01T10:58:00.000-08:00

Realisation of this idea means significantly increased added value in exchange for minimal or negligible investment for providers of catering services (above all the idea is aimed at restaurants, health resorts and hotels) in designing their culinary services. Realisation of the idea means addressing specific target groups of potential visitors in an innovative way (we can find no example of this idea having been realised in Slovenia and we have no information as to its having been introduced in practice in other countries).

I am prepared to sell for a symbolic price.
